DAY THREE

The morning was fairly uneventful, but I spent quite
a bit of time helping out at the volunteer center making care packages
for hurricane victims. It was hard work but good. I really enjoyed the
work, and it felt good knowing I could help my fellow Americans. Plus
there wasn't anything else going on so I was glad to be of use and
productive rather than aimlessly wandering around the city.
Day Two - Morning Update

Looks like things are getting back to normal and plans are to get the
convention back on schedule. Had breakfast this morning with the
Vermont delegation and heard from several speakers. The most prominent
speakers during our breakfast were Carly Fiorina former CEO of Hewlett
Packard (also once briefly mentioned as a possible VP pick), and Andy
McCain John McCain's son from his first marriage (also who is
successful business man in his own right). They and the rest of
speakers spoke about John McCain the man relating more of his personal
story. A couple members of our delegation will be late to the
convention so they swapped credentials with Alex and I. I will be on
the actual floor for the first couple of hours of the convention
tonight until they arrive. Am really looking forward to hearing Fred
Thompson speak and am just glad New Orleans was spared so we can get
down to business. I will post again this evening after I get back from
the convention. Have fun.
‘W’ And Other Liberal Fiction
Posted August 5th, 2008 by zachary.smith
Oliver Stone has recently given man birth to 'W,' a film that will no doubt rival such blockers as; Redacted, Lions for Lambs, and Stop Loss, etc, etc. Ah yes, wonderful anti-American films that inspire citizens to do their patriotic duty, which is to let the film die the horrible painful death it deserves. PTL. Just when one starts to get a little too pessimistic about where America is heading we are given a ray of hope, or in this case a series of straight to DVD classics. Okay, just straight to DVD bombs that won’t even sell on the five dollar rack at Wal-Mart. God bless America and our free enterprise system. In a clear rejection of such liberal America hating films the American public has declared, loudly, or in this case with their wallets just how they really feel. It is good, and the truly great thing is there are plenty of examples of how people are reacting to the opposite. Look at the latest Batman movie, Dark Knight with its blatant conservative political undertones is well on its way to being one of the highest grossing films of all time. The message is clear, people aren’t buying the liberal Hollywood agenda but they are buying movies where terrorists get what’s coming to them. Hmmm.
